Spencer Biro, a seventh-grade honor student at Liberty Christian School in Argyle, was recently recognized by the Duke TIP at a ceremony at the University of North Texas in Denton.  Spencer was the only student from Liberty so recognized.  He will be attending McKamy Middle School in the Fall.

The Duke University Talent Identification Program’s (Duke TIP) 7th Grade Talent Search identifies students in sixteen states in the Southeast, Midwest, and Southwest who have scored in the 95th percentile on a grade-level achievement test. As part of the program, these academically talented students take above-level college-entrance exams (SAT or ACT) to learn more about their abilities.  The ceremony on UNT's campus honored those who earned scores equal to or better than half the college-bound seniors who took the test.

Spencer also excels in ice hockey and drums, enjoys Boy Scouts, and is contemplating a career in medicine.
